Funny, joyful, touching, and emotional? This book has it all. The human experience is very vast, but at the end of the day we all will cease to exist; what will your legacy be? What do you want your funeral to look like? Who will show up? I loved how Richard spoke on the theme of letting go of a past love to move forward in the present life. This story follows our main characters journey in that letting go process, and the very real ups and downs of holding on to something that isn’t meant for you. This is a slower paced book, but I promise it is totally worth it to stick through until the end. You may laugh, you may cringe, you may shed a tear, and you may be thrown back into past memories that you have carried with you. Experience it all right alongside our main character, and see what happens when it all falls into place at his own hand.
